SD1: Corvette Diner
For dinner, even though we were exhausted from our trip to the zoo, we searched out the Corvette Diner. We headed into downtown thinking it was there, but it was well out of down town in what looked to be the part of town where the middle class lived.
The diner is great for kids. There's music (50's style), fun wait staff, magicians, and good food. We were seated quickly and out waitress walked by shortly after tossing a handful of straws at us. She returned shortly to take out drink order and let us know about the specials. As usual, I asked if they could make an adjustment to a sandwich on the menu and they were happy to make the change.
The restaurant is very service oriented and asks you to make sure that you ask for a manager or send your food back if you are not completely happy. The atmosphere allowed for Kevin to be as noisy as he wanted to without disturbing anyone around him. We paid around $35 for the 3 of us (they do have a kid's menu) and I had desert to go. We'll likely return before we go home.
Street parking is available; we parked 2 blocks away, on 34th, but I didn't feel completely safe returning to the car in the dark. There is also valet and garage parking for about $4.
Standout: Kevin had an Oreo shake with his meal and it was the best Oreo shake that I have tasted. The shake alone is worth going there for, but the atmosphere is a close second.
